Adult Services

One-Stop Centers

One-Stop programs promote individual responsibility and personal decision-making through the use of Individual Training Accounts (ITA) which allow adult participants to purchase the training they determine best for them. This market-driven system will enable customers to get the skills and credentials they need to succeed in the local labor markets. One-Stop Centers provide participants with a list of eligible training providers and information about how well those providers perform. Payment for services will be arranged through the ITAs. (Find a One-Stop Center.)

Eligibility

Services for adults and dislocated workers will be provided through the One-Stop Centers. WIA authorizes three levels of service: Core, Intensive, and Training.

Core services are available to adults and dislocated workers with no eligibility requirements. Core services include the following:

• Job search and placement assistance
• Labor Market Information
• Initial assessment of skills and needs
• Information about available services
• Follow-up services (to help participants keep their jobs once they are placed)

Intensive services will include more comprehensive assessments, development of individual employment plans, group and individual counseling, case management, and short-term pre-vocational services.

Training services are available to participants who are not able to find jobs through core or intensive services. Training services are directly linked to job opportunities in the area. These services may include occupational skills training, on-the-job training, entrepreneurial training, skill upgrading, job readiness training, and adult education and literacy activities.
